What's next for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One and Wii U?

WHAT'S NEXT: We predict what could be coming to the Xbox One, Wii U and PS4 this year [DAILY STAR ONLINE]

THE big games firms are about to reveal a ton of new hits.

Microsoft, Sony and Nintendo have been beavering away behind the scenes on dozens of secret titles to go on sale at Christmas and beyond.

And they'll reveal all at the annual E3 games event in Los Angeles on June 10.

Here's our predictions for what surprises you can expect from the top three this summer...

BATTLE IT OUT: Will Gears of War makes a return to the Xbox One? [PH]

MICROSOFT

Xbox are promising to be "all about the games" this year after 2013's flop E3 stage show.

With the Xbox One trailing behind the PS4 by several million sales already, bosses will be pulling out all the stops.

Expect numerous exclusive games only for their platform. There's talk of fan favourite third-person shooter Gears of War getting a "next-gen" reboot.

Also Halo 4, teased last year, will almost certainly see a full reveal for the first time.

We'll see a lot more of new IPs Sunset Overdrive and Quantum Break, including gameplay footage. Both have been in relative hiding since last year's big announcements.

And a new Fable will probably be shown off. Xbox chiefs will also continue to push the upcoming telly service and exclusive show's being made for their consoles.

More details, including actor reveals, for Steven Spielberg's live-action Halo show are a shoe-in.

But it will be all about the games this summer. Xbox boss Phil Spencer has vowed to beat Sony's E3 reveals with a strong stable of titles first and foremost.He said: "Definitely in to win. "We need to do more, that’s 100% of my focus."

He added: "Bringing more than hype, bringing games."

One outside bet would be a confirmation of robot shooter Titanfall 2 after the first game wowed fans earlier this year on Xbox One.

SMASH HIT: Uncharted 4 is coming to PlayStation soon [PLAYSTATION]

SONY

PlayStation is currently ruling the "next-gen" roost.

The PS4 is well outselling the rival Xbox One with 7million machines in homes globally and counting.

But fans have been complaining of a lack of hit titles. Exclusives like Infamous: Second Son, Killzone Shadow Fall and Knack are all decent.

But they've failed to wow the faithful. So the pressure is on Sony to offer up new, PS4-only games that will actually excite.

“Some of the things that we are preparing for E3 are very, very exciting,”

Shuhei Yoshida, PlayStation Worldwide Studios boss

Expect a full-reveal of blockbuster Uncharted 4. The game has already been announced but the odds are that PlayStation bosses will want to show off the shiny graphics of the new installment in their hit action series.

It'll look stunning. And, based on past Uncharted games, developer Naughty Dog will be keen to prove its still the no.1 hitmaker in gaming.

Sony will also likely spend time properly showing off the Virtual Reality headset its working on.

Bosses will want to prove the device more than just a fad.

Time will also be spent pushing the upcoming Playstation Now game streaming service coming to tellies.

You'll be able to stream older PS3 games direct from a server onto your TV without the need for a console at all.

PlayStation Worldwide Studios boss Shuhei Yoshida, who oversees all game development at Sony, has teased the E3 briefing in June will be one you won't want to miss.

"Some of the things that we are preparing for E3 are very, very exciting," Yoshida said.

ADVENTURE: Fans are hoping for more from Zelda on the Wii U [NINTENDO]

NINTENDO

The struggling games firm needs to pull some serious surprises out of the bag if it's to rescue its Wii U console.

Fans are desperately hoping for a new Zelda adventure game.

Nintendo tend to launch fresh Zelda titles late-on in their console's life cycle.

But while the Wii U is only a couple of years old, the lack of games to play has almost killed the machine off already.

The only unplayed card left in the Japanese company's stable is Zelda. HD rehash of old Zelda title Wind Waker has gone down a storm among die-hard fans.

So a brand new, flashy looking adventure would give the Wii U some much needed headlines to compete against the booming Playstation and Xbox rivals.

There will also be a huge push on upcoming fighting game Super Smash Bros and family-favourite driving game Mario Kart 8.

Both are garnering huge buzz among critics and industry insiders. Also expect to see a push on the incoming raft of indie titles promised for the Wii U.

Damon Baker, Nintendo’s senior manager of licensing marketing, recently said the firm was pushing to introduce dozens of new independently made titles on the system to boost interest.

He said: "I think you will continue to see an emphasis or a priority in showcasing and display indie content."

Nintendo will detail their new titles in a digital broadcast again this year like 2013, avoiding a big spectacle live show.
